What is the appeal of Monster Hunter games? (self.retrogaming)

While researching good PSP games to play I found many posts about Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and other Monster Hunter games. They are beloved by the community but after doing some reading/watching it's not clear to me what the appeal is. I would appreciate if someone could tell what the goal is and what you love about the game. Apparently they are very long games (I think I read 100 hours or something along those lines) which is really great if I can get into a single game for that long. Thank you!

Its a great game, challenging and has a variety of weapons each being interesting to play, as well as a lot of awesome monsters with their own fighting styles. And exploring the location and gathering the materials you need for a fight was always a highlight to me. You could play locally with friends as well! I think I spent over 500 hrs in the monster hunters on the psp alone
